Quebec City electrician captures+$4,800/mo in panel-replacement leads
A scenario showing the ROI when a Quebec City electrical contractor uses bilingual Alizé AI to handle 95% French-language emergency calls without missing dispatch time.
ROI scenario, not a testimonial
Inputs are from public data: CMEQ (Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec) trade statistics, RBQ-licensed electrician wage tables, and standard electrical-emergency ticket sizes ($380-$1,200 for panel issues). All inputs auditable.

Even an all-French marketleaks calls without 24/7
Quebec City is overwhelmingly francophone (~95% French as first language per Stats Canada). A solo electrician here does not have the bilingual problem a Montreal contractor has — but they do have the 24/7 coverage problem.
Voicemail-only setup catches ~35% of after-hours calls. Of those, average response time is 8-10 hours. Power outages and panel issues do not wait that long — homeowners call the next RBQ-licensed name on Yelp or Google within 30 minutes.
~22 calls/month × 65% lost to voicemail decay × 70% close rate the next electrician wins × $420 average = ~$4,200/month in lost emergency revenue. Plus 30-day non-emergency follow-up jobs (lighting upgrades, EV charger installs) that would have come from those relationships.
The 30-daymath after Alizé AI
Same call volume. Same average ticket. 24/7 French-language coverage.
| Before Alizé | After Alizé | |
|---|---|---|
| After-hours calls answered | ~35% (voicemail catches some) | 100% (24/7 AI) |
| Avg response time | 8-10 hr | < 30 sec |
| French calls handled in French | 100% (only French market) | 100% (Quebecois French) |
| Panel-fire emergencies escalated | When electrician sees voicemail | Instant SMS + ring within 30 sec |
| Monthly emergency conversions | ~8 jobs × $420 = $3,360 | ~19 jobs × $420 = $7,980 |
| EV charger / lighting follow-ups | ~1 quote/mo from voicemail data | ~4 quotes/mo from Voice RAG history search |
| Monthly recurring cost | $0 (voicemail) | $99/mo (Starter Team plan) |
| Net monthly revenue impact | — | +$4,521/mo ($7,980 − $3,360 − $99) |
Net result: +$4,521/month in captured emergency revenue at $99/month software cost. 45× ROI on the Starter Team plan — plus an extra ~$1,500/month in follow-up quotes the Voice RAG search surfaces.
Day-by-dayrollout
Day 0
Sign up + connect number
Electrician signs up at /pricing, forwards business line to Alizé. Configures emergency keywords: "panneau brûle", "panneau électrique fume", "feu électrique", "panne".
Day 1
First after-hours panel call
A homeowner in Sainte-Foy calls at 10:15 PM in French — sparks from the electrical panel. Alizé escalates instantly. Electrician dispatches in 25 minutes. $620 job + same-day install of a new panel cover.
Day 5
EV charger inquiry
Caller asks about installing a Tesla wall connector — Alizé books a quote visit for Wednesday afternoon, captures full address + EV model. Quote converts to a $2,400 install 2 weeks later.
Day 12
Voice RAG saves a follow-up
Electrician searches "panneau" in past calls — surfaces 7 customers from the past 4 months who mentioned panel concerns. Sends a proactive inspection-special campaign. Books 3 visits.
Day 30
Measure
Report: 21 calls captured (was 8 estimated under voicemail), 19 emergency conversions, $7,980 + $2,400 EV install + $1,500 from proactive panel inspections. Total: $11,880 incremental.
